This manual is intended to guide the plant operations personnel of the
Bacman Geothermal Business Unit manning and operating its 230 kV
switchyard. This discussed the mostly used switchyard configurations, busbar
system, outdoor equipment and other apparatus.
Aside from the equipment mentioned above, this manual is also a compilation
of equipment functions & purpose as well as other important aspects vital in
switchyards operation.
It is hope that in this small way, this manual can serve as quick reference in
the efficient and effective operation of the Bacman Power Plant
